About the Game

EXPLORE ICONIC LOCATIONS

Use the backrooms slide system to explore all the levels. Find the loot you need, or the stuff that the other scientists need. Do not get cocky and try to be ready to face enemies that backrooms throw at you.

HELP OR NOT OTHER SCIENTISTS

Help out other members of the exploration group, or not. You have multiple choices in every questline (some are very questionable). Help upgrade the poolrooms outpost and unlock new levels.

FIGHT LEGENDARY BACKROOMS ENTITIES!

Complete the main questline, and fight legendary Backrooms entities. Get better, gear up, visit the trader and get the loot you need. If you try hard enough you may be the one to win your life back from the backrooms.
